Hi,
I'm new here and feel absolutely awful. Since January I've been investigated for an under active
thyroid. I've not been able to keep any food down at all. The last 8 weeks have been horrendous; literally fainting, vomiting up to 20 times a day, not being able to be near food due to nausea, my hands and legs keep shaking, I've lost 3 stone in weight, keep bursting into tears and slurring my speech.
I'm under a private endo who's doing loads of tests for my thyroid but I keep passing out and not hearing clients ring on the door, feel really confused and have absolutely no short term memory. I've had 4 ambulances out to me in the last month, only to be sent home whilst still dizzy.
My daughter called an ambulance out to me when she found me collapsed on the kitchen floor. I came round to a paramedic doing heart compressions on me. The thing is, in my confused state, I refused to go to my local hospital but promised I'd go to another by taxi.
The paramedic who was with me was a real bully: threatening to call social services if I didn't go with them. I was absolutely freezing and asked if I could have a blanket. She said 'I don't know where your bloody blankets are, get one yourself' I literally crawled into my bed on a Tuesday and woke up Thursday.
I became so weak I was eventually admitted to hospital for 10 days. I noticed that I couldn't stop going to the loo,like 10 minutes after I'd been I'd want to go again! I've always drunk loads of water and I wake up sweating.
I've not yet been diagnosed as diabetic, but it does run in my family. The thing I'd like to know is, when the paramedic report came through I was devastated. It said I'm a smoker, I'm not, I have a learning disability, I don't, that they were called out for a suicide attempt and that I have a suicide plan in place and, worst of all, I hear voices in my head and experience hallucinactions. Absolutely none of this is true. However, over the last couple of months my twin daughters have told me I've said some awful things which I can't remember and have somehow managed read the paramedic report (It was given to their father for safe keeping). They each visited me for a maximum of 10 minutes when I was in hospital, won't speak to me and are so angry with me. I know it's been a rough few months for everyone but can someone tell me if it's possible to say things you're unaware of when your blood sugar is so low? I suspect the paramedic of fabricating the report as I absolutely cannot imagine saying the things they wrote on it. I've tried googling diabetes symptoms, a lot of which I can identify with, but none say that, when hypoglycemic,you can say things you don't mean or are completely untrue. Apologies for the long rant but I badly need this question answered. Thank you.
